On
arrival,
the
officer
spoke
to
the
victim
sean
tortorici,
who
spoke
who
stayed
at
while
working
the
front
entrance
door.
He
observed
a
white
male
customer
causing
a
problem
with
the
bartender,
the
victim
further
stated.
He
asked
the
unknown
suspect
to
leave
and
he
became
very
argumentative
stating
why
don't
you
ask
the
bartender
to
leave
and.
J
J
J
I
also
spoke
to
mr
pino
at
the
time
he
he
gave
me
some
additional
information
of
what
had
occurred
that
night.
I
also
left
my
contact
information
for
the
victim
to
contact
me.
I
I
I
didn't
hear
from
him
and
I
I
didn't
get
the
copy
of
the
video
I
don't
I
I
didn't.
I
didn't
get
notified
that
that
the
video
was
ever
available
produced.
So
I
don't
I'm
not
exactly
sure
what
happened
with
that
in
the
past.
J
G
Sure
I
mean
I
think
in
four
years
at
canar
tavern.
This
is
the
first
incident
that
we've
ever
had
like
this.
In.
In
those
early
days
of
july,
we
were
kind
of
on
the
front
lines
of
a
big
problem
that
the
neighborhood
was
facing
in
another
establishment
that
was
over
over
serving
customers
and
then
just
sending
them
out
into
the
neighborhood.
G
They
they
operate
on
massport
land,
and
would
you
know
between
massport
and
mbpd
was
just
not
prepared
for
the
amount
of
drunk
people
coming
into
east
boston
on
a
daily
basis?
We
had
we
had
to
hire
for
the
first
time
a
doorman
security
person
because
of
the
drunk
people
that
were
trying
to
get
into
the
restaurant
on
a
nightly
basis.
G
It's
gotten
a
little
bit
better
over
the
course
of
the
last
couple
months,
but
it's
been
really
the
most
difficult
period
of
time
that
we've
ever
had
in
business
and
I've
been
in
the
restaurant
business
for
20
years
and
when
we've
originally
sorry.
I
got
an
infant
here
come
over
here
when
we,
you
know,
have
reached
out
to
the
police.
G
Luckily,
it's
going
a
little
bit
better
since
the
police
has
taken
more
of
an
interest
in
this
issue,
but
it's
been
really
difficult
and
and
to
have
an
employee
assaulted
like
this,
I'm
disgusted.
I
really
am,
and-
and
it's
never
happened
in
all
the
years
I've
been
in
business.
I
can't
I
am
so
ashamed
to
have
to
like
look
at
this
person
who,
like
stood
up
for
the
restaurant,
stood
up
for
what
was
right
and
was
attacked
like
this.
But
it's
because
there's
an
irresponsible
business
on
the
waterfront
who
lied
on
their
applications.
G
E
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
mr
frederick.
I
mean
this
is
a
situation
when
a
patron
has
attacked
the
employee,
which
normally
wouldn't
rise
to
the
level
of
a
public
hearing,
but
I
think
this
opportunity
has
shed
some
light
on
some
of
the
other
issues
in
the
neighborhood.
So
I
thank
you
for
bringing
those
to
our
attention,
but
I
don't
have
any
questions
about
this
particular
incident
report.
Commissioner
curran
or
commissioner
saxon
no
questions.
Thank
you.
B
J
That's
the
mobile
gas
station
down
the
street
from
the
medaille
bar
about,
although
the
9-1-1
call
is
described
in
the
in
the
cat
texts,
describe
the
incident
to
have
taken
place
outside
the
bar
at
472
saratoga
street.
Again,
that's
the
address
of
the
mobile
gas
station.
The
medal
bar
is
411
chelsea
street.
J
They
responded
to
the
bar
first
assisted
by
the
gold
201
alpha
unit
officers,
lundy
and
bang.
The
officers
met
with
the
caller
a
light.
Hispanic
female
who
refused
to
identify
herself,
the
unidentified
female
informed,
the
officers
that,
if
she
and
her
three
other
friends
were
accident,
the
medallion
bar
had
clothed
at
closing
one
of
her
female
friends
with
multiple
sclerosis
fell
down
onto
the
sidewalk,
approximately
three
to
four
hispanic
males
one
female
laughed
and
made
fun
of
the
disabled
female.
In
turn.
One
female
friend
verbally
defended
her
initiating
a
verbal
argument.
J
The
suspects
then
departed
the
location
and
stopped
at
the
mobile
gas
station,
where
the
driver
of
the
vehicle
containing
the
four
women,
including
the
disabled,
female,
also
stopped
and
confronted
the
group
of
males
one
unknown.
Hispanic
male
began
to
verbally
defend
the
females
during
during
the
altercation.
One
male
suspect
retrieved
what
appeared
to
be
a
black
firearm
from
his
black
audi
suv
and
pointed
it
at
this
unknown
man's
face
who
had
confronted
the
suspect
about
his
laughing
at
the
females.
J
J
J
It's
the
end
of
the
report.
Subsequently,
I
went
to
the
to
the
bar
located
411
chelsea
street
and
conducted
a
license
premise:
inspection
and
issued
a
license:
premise:
violation:
number:
zero:
zero.
Eight
five,
six
one
in
charge
at
the
time
was
monica
garcia
copy
of
this
violation
was
left
with
her,
along
with
my
business
card
for
the
owner
to
contact
me.
She
ended
up
getting
in
contact
with
the
owner.
J
The
cameras
from
madio
showed
that
they
ended
up
at
the
mobile
gas
station,
where
this
second
incident
took
place
with
the
alleged
firearm
being
pointed
at
an
individual
that
it's
unidentified
because
he
didn't
remain
on
the
scene
to
speak
to
the
police.
So
we
don't
know
who
he
is.
We
we
never
got
a
chance
to
talk
to
him.
The
the
females
themselves,
who
ended
up
being
witnesses
to
this
incident
were
initially
uncooperative
with
the
officers
there
and
I
I
haven't
been
able
to
get
any
cooperation
from
them.
J
The
the
second
establishment,
the
mobile
gas
station,
appeared
to
have
cameras,
but
upon
further
inspection
of
those
cameras,
they're
just
monitoring
cameras,
they
monitor
the
pumps
they
they
do
not
record.
So
we
were
unable
to
get
a
recording,
a
closer
recording
to
what
happened
at
the
gas
station
and
we
we
never
obtained
the
license
plate
to
the
vehicle
involved.
J
The
the,
although
the
description
of
the
suspect
is
it
was
very
pretty
detailed.
So
I
did
review
the
video
from
inside
the
bar
from
about
an
hour
prior
to
this
incident.
To
to
when
this
incident
happened,
I
did
not
see
an
individual
fitting.
The
description
of
the
individual
that
pulled
this
firearm
and
the
unknown
mail
inside
or
outside
the
bar.
J
N
N
I
saw
everything
everybody
starting
left
from
my
business
and,
like
I
close
at
two
in
the
morning,
everybody
left
make
sure
nobody's
in
the
sidewalk
and
later
on,
the
police
come
and
knock
the
door
and
say:
oh,
can
I
we
see
your
cameras,
something
happens
on
a
gas
station.
I
hope
that
the
police,
I
give
it
the
video
and
then
I
always
start
from
there,
but
I'm
very
sure
I
always
keep
the
eyes
outside
my
sidewalk
make
sure
everybody
left
and
then
that's
how
that
happened.
N
A
K
Okay,
go
ahead,
oh
the
night
of
the
incident
was
pretty
much
a
regular
night.
Everybody
you
know
was
normal
night
throughout
the
night.
We
you
you
could
notice.
There
was
something
wrong
with
the
lady
like
medical,
wise
and
now
until
I
I
read
the
the
report,
do
I
know
it?
It's
exactly.
You
know,
ms.
I
mean
multiple
sclerosis.
I
believe
it
is,
and
I
guess
you
felt
you
know
there
was
a
verbal
altercation
outside
you
know.
I
I
go
to
the
back
of
the
place.
K
You
know
to
kind
of
motivate
people
out
of
here,
while
my
while
lewis
stays
at
the
door
making
sure
nobody
comes
out
with
drinks
or
nothing
like
that,
so
he
notices
the
the
verbal
altercation
calls
me
I
come
out,
you
know
we
defuse
the
situation,
no
big
deal
there.
Everybody
kind
of
you
know
go,
goes
the
wrong
way.
We
finished
closing
out
the
place.
K
I
mean
I
I
did
notice.
You
know
the
crowd,
you
know
moving
down
towards
their
cars
and
you
know
everybody's
still,
a
bit
agitated.
You
can
still
hear
that
the
excitement
and
whatnot,
but
as
far
as
like
in
front
of
the
premises,
you
know
we
did
our
part,
I
believe,
in
clearing
out
the
place
as
safely
as
possible,
which
we
did
and
then
after
I
finally
closed
up
the
place
made
sure
everybody
was
out
of
here.
K
You
know,
locking
up
I'm
walking
home
and
having
to
walk
by
towards
heading
towards
472
saratoga,
where
the
altercation,
the
second
altercation
broke
out,
and
it
was
going
on
and
at
that
point
I'm
no
longer
an
employee,
I'm
walking
home,
I'm
not
low.
Excuse
me,
no
longer
an
employee
at
the
bar,
so
for
me
to
intervene,
would
be
putting
myself
at
risk
overreaching.
In
a
way,
so
I
mean
I
didn't
see
anything
majorly
drastic
where
I
needed.
You
know.
K
I
still
heard
the
excitement
and
people
you
know
kind
of
talking
and
whatnot,
but
I
just
I
did
notice
a
group
of
people
and
you
know
where
the
second
altercation
took
place.
Like
I
said
at
the
time
nothing
had
nothing.
You
know
that
drastic
was
going
on.
That
would
where
I
felt
like
I
needed
to
get
in.
I
did
notice
a
group
of
males
running
away
from
that
crowd
and
forcing
me
to
saratoga
jumping
in
the
black
what
I
know
to
be
a
audi
audi
suv
vehicle.

E
O
P
Both
this

written
on
july
17,
2021
about
1,
30,
35
a.m.
On
saturday
july
17,
2021
officer,
suarez
and
clark,
and
the
echo
103
unit
responded
to
a
radio
call
for
a
fight
at
1728
santa
street
west
rockberry,
upon
arrival
offices,
observed
several
people
outside
the
western
side.
Officer
suarez
spoke
with
the
doorman
victim
timothy
merrigan,
who
stayed
stated
two
unknown
females
and
one
unknown
male
were
fighting.
P
Outside
the
bar
victim
also
stated
the
altercation
a
little
lower
in
the
report,
but
victim
also
stated
during
the
qualification
he
was
pepper,
sprayed
more
robot
officers
also
spoke
with
chris
ivory,
the
bars
manager,
who
stated
he
was
thrown
to
the
ground.
Both
parties
stated
the
suspects
fled
the
scene
on
foot
toward
roach
brothers.
P
Both
victims
refused
to
be
seen
by
ems
as
the
result
of
the
incident
on
july,
20th,
myself
and
detective
rockwell
conducted
a
licensed
premise
effect:
inspection
at
a
1732
center
west
on
the
center,
the
manager
sarah
green,
was
on
scene
and
was
cooperative
during
the
inspection.
As
a
result
of
the
incident
on
july,
17
licensed
premise:
violation:
44452
was
issued
for
the
following
violations
and
b
patron
on
patron
a
and
b
patron
unemployee,
abdw
pepper
spray
patron
unemployee.
P
D
Yeah
so
that
night
I
can
just
tell
you
what
happened.
The
we
did
a
little
investigating
and
the
person
who
wasn't
a
regular
patron
of
west
and
nick
bonafilio
came
in.
He
was
definitely
the
aggressor.
He
got
into
an
an
argument
with
another
gentleman
at
the
bar
at
that
time.
You
know
they
were
definitely
going
back
and
forth
with
you
know,
verbally
we
did
manage
to
to
get
him
outside
and
calm
the
situation
down.
Unfortunately,
we
believe
his
wife
was
there.
D
D
P
If
I
could,
just
if
I
could
just
point
out
the
owner,
mr
green
did
supply
us
with
video
and
information
related
to
the
incident.
In
the
days
that
followed.
The
investigation
did
a
little
bit
of
a
pause
right
now
for
the
detective
who
had
it
he's
out
injured.
So
we
might
be
reassigning
it
depending
on
when
she's
coming
back,
but
we
were
provided
with
the
video
and
information
as
to
what
happened
from
the
establishment.

T
I
This
is
reading
from
an
incident
report
authored
by
an
officer
steinman
about
2
30
a.m.
On
sunday
july,
18,
2021
officer,
starman
and
powell
respond
to
a
radio
call
for
an
assault
and
battery
at
209
columbus
ave
boston
on
arrival
officers
met
with
victim
christine
flaherty,
who
stated
that
one
of
her
friends
were
arguing
with
the
suspect
unknown
described
as
a
black
male
wearing
a
white
t-shirt.
I
The
victim
stated
that
this
unknown
suspect
had
also
assaulted
another
female
who
was
not
on
the
scene.
When
officers
arrived,
the
victim
stated
the
assault
occurred
in
front
of
mitchell
gold
and
bob
williams.
A
store
officers
observed
two
cameras
located
where
the
incident
occurred.
The
victim
declined
ems.
I
T
T
E
S
Sure
I
I've
been
asking
to
the
board,
and
I
would
like
to
speak
to
the
matters
here
with
all
due
respect.
In
reference
to
the
comments
the
officer
just
made,
I
do
not
think
that
they
fully
and
accurate
respect
reflect
all
the
incidents
that
happened
that
night.
This
whole
chain
of
events
started
with
two
people
arguing
over
a
cab
outside
on
columbus
ave
and
not
inside
the
building
around
1
42
a.m.
S
Myself,
another
security
guard
were
standing
outside
and
we
heard
what
appeared
to
be
a
verbal
argument
taking
place
in
the
street.
We
responded
went
over
to
see
what
was
happening.
Try
to
defuse
it,
get
the
parties
away
from
each
other.
One
party
was
trying
to
leave
the
area.
The
other
one
was
a
little
bit
more
of
an
instigator
he
kept
trying
to
go
after
him.
There
were
a
number
of
civilians
in
addition
to
our
security
who
are
trying
to
separate
everyone,
break
it
up.
S
Eventually,
the
primary
instigator
pushed
through
some
of
the
crowd
and
ended
up
shoving
this
one
other
individual,
and
at
that
point
I
called
at
1
45
a.m.
For
this
instance,
the
police
arrived
one
of
the
other
parties
had
left
the
area
at
this
point,
and
the
police
spoke
with
several
people
and
then
left
the
area
some
time
after
that,
a
female
approached
me
and
she
stated
that
one
of
her
friends
was
apparently
assaulted,
trying
to
break
up
the
fight
and
she
wanted
that
person
arrested.
S
S
She
then
left
the
area,
and
sometime
after
that,
we
saw
the
primary
aggressor
from
the
previous
incident
back
in
the
area.
We
told
him
to
leave
the
area
he
started
to
walk
away
and
then
halfway
down
the
sidewalk
toward
where
mitchell
gold
is,
he
saw
the
female
who
approached
me
and
the
two
of
them
began,
arguing
with
each
other,
fearing
that
this
was
going
to
escalate.
Again
as
it
had
earlier,
I
again
called
9-1-1
at
2
29
a.m.
S
S
In
addition
to
our
own
staff,
we
have
contracted
an
outside
security
force,
which
includes
former
police
officers
and
military
personnel
to
help
deal
these
situations
when
they
do
arise.
To
that
end.
In
this
situation,
we
did
everything
that
we
thought
was
reasonable
to
mitigate
diffuse
and
prevent
the
situation
from
the
moment.
We
realized
something
was
happening,
I.e,
a
verbal
argument
and
with
that
I
would
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
may
have.
S
In
total,
I
believe
that
we
had
eight
on
that
night.
I
think
at
the
time
that
the
incident
started,
I
believe
there
were
three
outside
and
then
once
things
escalated,
I
had
radioed
for
more
and
people
came
out
at
that
point
I
don't
know
the
exact
number,
because
I
was
again
trying
to
see
the
situation
one-on-one
with
one
individual.

The

had

them
on
the
situation.
Laconte
informed
the
officers
that
he
and
his
girlfriend
identified
as
eliana
catracos
got
into
a
verbal
argument
with
another
male
customer
in
the
bar,
at
which
time
the
bouncers
escorted
all
three
parties,
from
the
premise
after
being
removed
from
the
bar
laconte
proceeded
to
go.
Ask
the
bouncer
why
they
were
kicked
out
at
which
time
the
bounce
proceeded
to
slap
leconte
several
times
in
the
face.
Y
Y
The
officers
then
proceeded
to
talk
with
the
bouncer,
who
was
identified
as
marquis
mayo
mayor
informed
the
officers
that
they
removed,
laconte
and
katracos
from
the
bar
because
of
an
altercation
with
another
customer.
After
moving
laconte
from
the
bar,
he
proceeded
to
get
male's
face
in
an
aggressive
manner.
Male
then
told
the
officers
that
lukanti
began
poking
him
in
the
chest.
After
several
requests
to
stop
male
told
the
officer,
he
struck
open
hand
laconte
three
times
in
the
face.
Y
The
officers
then
spoke
to
the
manager
who
informed
them.
They
did
have
security
camera
inside
the
bar
sergeant
silta
issued
violation,
number
zero,

four
six
one,

As
a
result
of
a
fall
investigation.
I
spoke
with
the
alleged
victim
lecante
who
said
that
initially
he
said
he
corroborated
the
story.
He
said
he
was
slapped
by
the
bouncer
said
he
just
was
questioning
why
he
was
thrown
out
but
did
admit
that
he
had
a
verbal
altercation
within
the
bar.
Y
Since
then
he
said
stated:
he
wants
to
chalk.
It
up
is
a
bad
night
and
he
didn't
want
to
move
forward
with
anything.
The
other
victim
alleged
victim
eliana's
refused
to
call
me
back.
I've
left
numerous
amount
messages.
I
sent
her
a
mail
mailed
her
a
letter,
no
response
back.
I
did
speak
with
mr
angioni,
mr
casey,
we're
both
very
cooperative
mr
casey,
provided
me
with
video
the
for
whatever
reason
the
video
wouldn't
open,
but
he
did
provide
it
with
me.
V
V
They
were
asked
to
leave
because
they
were
causing
issues
inside
and
I
think
the
gentleman
at
the
door
defended
himself
in
this
regard,
but
in
any
event
the
video
again
is
in
it
is
with
you
and
if
there's
any
issue
opening
it
will
certainly
be
able
to
provide
a
clear
copy.
I
hope,
but
no
other
questions.
Man.
Thank
you.
V
V
I
know
we
have,
we
have
preserved
the
licensee
has
preserved
the
video.
I
think
there
was
a
copy
given
to
the
detectives,
but
it
appears
as
though
it
perhaps
couldn't
be
opened,
and
I'm
just
suggesting
that
we
have
preserved
it
so
that
it
is
available
if
the
detective's
copy
is
is
not
visible.
We
can
certainly
provide
one
for
him
or
the
board.
Whoever
you
choose
us
to
choose
to
have
a
send
it

Good

brought
this

to
the

of
the
art
house,
located
at
126
brooklyn
ave
in
boston,
while
walking
in
the
bay
area
detectives
observed.
A
large
group
of
patrons
drinking
alcoholic
beverages.
Detectives
noticed
that
these
patrons
looked
young
detectives
asked
them
to
produce
identification
to
confirm
their
ages.
U
Four
other
patrons
initially
stated
that
they
were
21
years
of
age.
Upon
further
questioning,
it
was
determined
that
the
patrons
were
under
21
years
of
age,
two
of
the
patrons
produced
their
ballot
driver's
licenses,
confirming
they
were
under
21
years
of
age.
The
valid
driver's
license
contained
the
identity
of

a

lying
to
miss

which
they
used
to
purchase.
Alcohol
detectives
asked
the
group
how
they
obtained
the
beverages.
They
had
individuals
produce
fraudulent
licenses
that
contain
the
individual's
correct
name
and
addresses,
but
displayed
a
date
of
birth
that
made
it
appear
that
they
were
all
over

U
Fraudulent

were
confiscated
by
detectives.
A
fourth

the
notice
was
essentially
the
facts
of
that
evening.
U
X
X
Now.
I
would
like
to
make
a
statement.
My
client
is
disappointed
that
they're
here
they're
not
really
disputing
the
facts,
and
you
know
two
of
the
ids
were
if
they
were
used,
were
fake,
main
ids.
I
I
they
have
asked
me
to
just
summarize.
You
know
their
investigation
and
what
they've
they've
done
and
for
efficiency
I'm
going
to
do
that,
but
both
of
them
are
here
to
attest
to
anything.
X
Maybe
they
had
taken
him
out
of
the
trash
one
of
the
things
that
led
him
to
that
is
that
night
on
event
nights
they
have
carting
at
the
door
by
a
security
staff
or
or
baseball
games,
which
is
what
this
was
and
they
had
run
out
of
yellow
bracelets
pre-game,
but
and
so
they
switched
to
a
different
color.
But
these
some
of
these
people
had
he
noticed
that
they
had
yellow
bracelets
and
if
they
had
been
re-entered
allowed
back
in
they
would
they
would
have
been
carded
and
given
a
new
bracelet.
X
X
AD
X
Encouraging
their
staff
to
do
this
at
pre-meal
meetings
and
they're
going
to
reward
them
if
they
do
discover
some
some
people
and
immediately
see
service,
they're
gonna
reward
them
with
different
employee
perks.
They
have
like
additional
free
meals
and
that
you
get
to
choose
your
schedule
and
things
like
that.
They
have
spoken
to
the
staff
and
the
securities
group
about
this.
X
This
incident
and
and
just
reaffirmed
all
of
their
protocols
and
things
that
they're
supposed
to
do
like
not
letting
anybody
back
in
with
a
bracelet
giving
them
a
new
bracelet,
probably
most
important,
that
they've
done
is.
They
have
engaged
the
bars
company
to
do
compliance
checks
at
least
once
a
month
and
they're
gonna
focus
on
game
day
and
event
days
and
the
protocols
that
are
supposed
to
be
followed
in
event
days.
X
The
art
house
has
now
owned,
probably
the
last
eight
years
by
darden,
restaurants,
which
own
a
number
of
concepts,
including
a
large
number
of
olive
gardens,
and-
and
so
this
really
works
across
the
state
when
they
have.
You
know
issues
like
this
across
the
country
that
these
bar
programs
encourage
and
get
their
staff
to
to
do
best
practices
and
adhere
to
the
best
practices
and
also
catch
violations.
You
know,
or
you
know
things
that
would
lead
to
a
violation,
because
none
of
these
people
are
under
21
who
come
into
bars.
X
That's
really
really
helped
one
of
the
things
about
the
spot
checks
they're
going
to
do
as
well.
Is
that
they're
going
to
put
a
sign
on
a
stanchion
at
the
door
that
says,
even
though
you
get
past
security,
you're
going
to
be
spot
checked,
be
prepared.
We
reserve
the
right
to
spot
check
and
we
will
remove
you
if
you're
under
21..
X
I
I
reviewed.
Oh
one
last
thing
they
are
looking
into
the
the
manager
had
noted
that
the
police
may
have
mentioned
an
id
app
that
you
could
use
for
phones
and
and
ipads
and
and
make
it
a
little
more.
They
do
have
a
scanner
at
the
point
connected
to
the
point
of
sale
system,
but
if
they
could
get
something
that
was
out
on
the
sales
floor
in
the
dining
room,
they
definitely
will
they're
looking
into
it
they're
a
large
company
and
that
they
do
have
data
security
issues.
X
X
The
only
other
one
I
could
find
was
one
sale
of
miner
that
didn't
result
in
a
violation
so
for
a
high
volume
place
they
they
do
run
a
good
place,
but
they
want
to
run
a
better
place
and
they're
going
to
take
the
steps
to
do
that.
Mr
bird's
eye
and
miss
naraya,
keeley
and
you're
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have.
Thank
you
thank.
A
E
Attorney
devlin,
this
restaurant
is
in
a
prime
neighborhood
for
events,
special
events
and
games,
so
they
have
to
they
have
to
be
on
there
on
their
game.
When
it
comes
to
I
identifying
underage,
can
you
tell
me
again
on
this
particular
night?
What
did
they
do
to
check
ids?
Was
it
do
they
have
to
they
use
their
scanner?
Do
they
have
do
they
just
do
a
physical
check
of
the
ids?
They
have.
X
X
E
U
They
were
pretty
good.
The
the
problem
with
their
scanner
is
that
it's
in
the
middle
of
the
restaurant,
the
one
we
saw
and
it
wasn't
at
the
front
door,
so
the
door
guys
would
be
better
suited
if
they
had
that
closer
to
them,
so
they
could
utilize
it.
As
the
night
went
we
went
in
and
we
we
have
quite
a
collection
of
fake
ids
and
we
brought
some
in
in
in
talking
to
the
manager.
We
asked
him
if
he
had
a
scanner.
He
said
yes
and
we
said,
let's
see
how
it
works.
U
E
So
here
I
am
trying
to
process
this.
This
is
a
big
company
and
a
nationwide
company.
This
alleged
this
incident
was
in
july
and
we
have
yet
to
get
a
new
scanner
and
you
you
were
testifying
today
that
there
was
thousands
of
people
there
that
night
and
the
only
scanner
that
you
had
was
in
the
middle
of
the
restaurant.
It
doesn't.
AD
AB
AB
E
Z
If
I,
if
I
could
we
the
scanner
that
we
were
using,
isn't
attached
to
the
pos
system,
so
it's
not
any
kind
of
credit
card
information
or
anything
like
that.
There's
no
risk
of
any
kind
of
breach,
but
attorney
devlin
was
talking
about,
was
higher
end
equipment.
I
believe
that
would
be
attached
to
the
pos
and
that's
where
the
the
delay
comes
in,
because
that's
where
the
security
cyber
security
comes
in,
these
scanners
are
standalone.
Z
We
hadn't
used
them
in
years
past,
but,
having
seen
and
having
caught
ourselves
a
number
of
identifications
that
we
thought
were
fraudulent,
we
thought
it
would
be
a
good
idea
to
invest
in
a
scanner,
and
it
wasn't
until
that
night
that
you
realized
that
the
scanner
that
we
purchased,
which
we
had
done
a
lot
of
research
on
and
had
good
reviews,
wasn't
obviously
the
top
of
the
line
scanner.
So
that's,
I
think,
hopefully
answers
the
question.
E
And
I
understand
those
complications
being
part
of
a
larger
corporation.
However,
I
can't
I
can't
look
past
the
fact
that
this
particular
restaurant
is
located
in
a
neighborhood.
It
has
tons
of
events,
concert
events,
sports
events.
The
marathon
goes
right
through
there.
It's
it's
just
not
acceptable,
commissioner
curran
or
commissioner
saxon.
Do
you
have
any
questions.
B
Z
Z
X
Q
Z
X
The
answer
was:
it's
not
easy
to
find
out,
given
the
number
of
people
that
came
into
that
location,
they
didn't,
they
didn't
check
the
log,
no
they're,
not
arguing
that
the
ideas
are
fraudulent.
I
I
I
just
like
to
point
out
to
the
board.
If
they've
had
two
violent,
this
is
not
the
first
time
the
boston
police
have
been
in
this
location.
It
given
where
it
is.
X
They've
had
two
sales
to
minors,
even
alleged
in
the
last
eight
years,
given
the
number
of
people
that
come
into
that
location,
they
actually
run
a
pretty
good
they're,
pretty
proud
of
the
way
they
run.
They're
not
proud
that
they're
here
tonight
and
there
are
things
that
they
need
to
address,
but
eight
years
with
two
violations
with
two
alleged
violations,
only
one
you
know
resulted
in
a
warning
four
years
ago.
X
This
is
the
boston
police
department,
sergeant,
detective
gallagher,
who
would
I'm
sure
sure
back
me
on
this
has
been
in
there
often
that
they
do
visit
this
location
quite
a
bit.
So,
look,
there
are
things
they
came
in
here
and
they
admitted
there
are
things
that
they
need
to
do
to
improve
here
and
and
they're
going
to
do
it.
But
but
eight
years
with
two
two
violations
or
two
alleged
violations
is
that
that
is,
you
know
a
testament
to
that
they're
doing
something
right,
but
that
they
can
do.
F
I
AE
F
AE
F
A
E
E
This
is
to
gather
information
regarding
the
management
and
operations
we
are
here
today
to
listen
to
the
people
that
have
contacted
us
or
anyone
else
who
wishes
to
testify.
No
one
should
feel
forced
to
testify,
so
we
are
here
to
listen
and
because
of
the
number
of
complaints
that
we've
received
regarding
this
establishment.
W
Hi
maureen,
can
you
hear
me?
Yes?
Okay,
good
afternoon,
madam
chair
members,
board
attorney
joe
hanley
mcdermott
quilting
miller.
I
represent
the
mount
vernon
company,
who
is
property
owner
in
the
licensee
under
the
lodging
house.
License
with
me
is
bruce
percilla,
who
is
the
chair
and
founder
of
the
mount
vernon
company.
Also
with
me,
is
eric
shenrock
who's.
Vice
president,
the
mount
vernon
company
and
the
mount
vernon
company's
lodging
house
operator
terry
reeknov
from
corporate
housing
solutions.
Just
just
to
make
a
brief
statement.
W
W
We
were
not
provided
with
any
complaints
or
or
any
information
up
until
we
had
received
this
notice
in
august,
there
was
one
email
that
we
received
from
a
neighbor,
and
that
was
it
so
we
are.
We
too
are
here
to
listen,
and
we
greatly
appreciate
that
this
is
an
informational
hearing
and
what
I've
done
is
in
advance
of
this
hearing.
W
So,
according
to
our
notes,
there
were
five
areas
that
were
identified
in
your
records:
concern
about
the
classification
of
the
short-term
rental
occupancy
or
license
trash
storage,
vermin,
noise
and
some
alleged
illegalities
of
the
premises,
and
so
my
client
put
together
a
memo
which
we
sent
over
in
advance
to
the
licensing
board
detailing
our
input.
On
that
the
first
thing
I'll
say
with
respect
to
the
short-term
rental.
W
W
W
Having
said
that,
when
we
were
notified
that
we
should
have
a
perhaps
have
a
short-term
rental
license,
mount
vernon
immediately
proceeded
to
apply
for
that
and
it's
been
issued
as
str
number
45765
and
that's
in
the
memo
that
we
put
together
the
the
trash
storage.
Just
to
give
you
some
background,
hospitality
has
was
essentially
decimated
by
the
pandemic
and
for
a
12-month
period
back
in
2020.
W
There
are
only
four
residents
at
this
building,
so
it
was
not
at
its
capacity
and
that's
not
necessarily
unique
for
any
hospitality
operator
in
the
city
and
when
we
got
through
the
pandemic,
mount
vernon
engaged
corporate
housing
solutions,
which
is
really
a
one
of
the
best
in
the
business
to
operate
under
their
discretion
under
their
direction.
I
should
say
and
brought
new
furniture
in
and
outfitted
the
lodging
house
component,
and
during
that
time
there
were
some
boxes
and
stuff
that
was
stored
in
the
back
and
that's
a
mia
culpa.
W
W
They've
installed
cameras
at
the
rear
to
make
sure
that
no
one
is
putting
refuse
there
that
doesn't
belong
to
our
building
and
also
to
keep
the
trash
inside
and
bring
it
out
only
for
collection
times
with
respect
to
the
vermin
we've
also
updated
pest
control,
there's
no
food
service.
This
is
a
again.
This
is
a
short-term
rental
environment.
There's
not
a
lot
of
waste
that
attracts
vermin.
That's
a
problem
in
the
neighborhood,
but
we're
also
here
to
work
with
the
community
and
do
our
part.
W
As
for
the
noise,
there
was
a
com.
There
was
some
notations
in
your
file
about
noise.
Coming
from
our
building,
we've
not
been
able
to
find
any
evidence
of
that.
One
of
the
things
about
short-term
rental
is
when
people
are
staying
in
a
unit
and
they
hear
noise,
they
tend
to
complain
to
the
operator.
W
W
As
far
as
alleged
drug
dealing
and
things
of
that
nature
on
our
property,
we've
we've
no
evidence,
we've
not
been
provided
without
any
evidence,
but
this
isn't
a
defensive
posture.
What
this
is
is
a
collaboration
of
the
community.
Mount
vernon
operates.
Hospitality
businesses,
including
a
hotel
elsewhere
in
the
south,
end
the
revolution
and
others
in
nantucket,
new,
hampshire,
rhode,
island
and
maine.
W
A
W
It
was
the
licensing
board
email
was
sent
by
mr
shinrok
yesterday,
we
can
send
it
again
now.
I
believe
he
may
have
included
ms
delaney
hawkins
email,
who
I
know
is
since
gone,
but
we
can
send
another
copy
over.
I
know
it's
information,
but
we
wanted
to
get
in
front
of
this
and,
of
course
we
we're
here
to
continue
to
work
with
you.
W
R
Yes,
so
we
we
partner
with
corporate
housing
solutions,
help
manage
the
short-term
rentals
there
coming
out
of
the
pandemic,
this
starting
in
july,
when
their
the
hospitality
business
had
resumed.
Prior
to
that,
we
had
another
similar
partnership
with
a
different
operator
who
didn't
make
it
through
the
pandemic
at
this
location.
W
I
will
say,
madam
chair,
if
I
can
too,
this
is
very
typical
and
standard
in
hospitality.
You
license
hotels
and
you
license
lodging
houses
and
virtually
every
hotel
and
hospitality
operator
has
a
management
entity
that
works
under
its
discretion.
We're
very
aware
of
our
roles
and
responsibilities
for
control
under
the
license.
E
E
W
R
That
number
forwards
to
several
of
us
at
mount
vernon
company,
as
well
as
staff
at
corporate
housing
solutions,
so
that
somebody
can
respond
as
quickly
as
possible.
So
that's
what's
unique
about
those
numbers
in
past
in
our
community
engagement
on
this
issue
are
on
the
lodging
house
license.
In
the
past.
We
have
provided
direct
contact,
my
cell
phone
of
bruce
persolate,
the
owner's
cell
phone.
The
a
lot
of
these
complaints,
as
joe
noted,
never
made
it
to
us
so
we're
hoping
that
this
consolidated
method
communication
will
be
more
helpful.
E
AE
E
R
E
Exactly
what
I'm
trying
to
get
at
you
know
what
your
policies
are.
It
sounds
like
you've
been
in
this
business
for
a
long
time,
so
there
must
be
some
internal
policies
about
how
many
people
are
on
call
how
long
it
takes
to
respond
to
such
calls.
You
know
with
a
you
know,
who's
on
call
overnight.
Just
you
know.
W
E
R
W
And
the
revolution
hotel
at
40
berkeley
is
a
property
that
mr
personally
mount
vernon
sort
of
repositioned
and
upgraded
and
that
had
both
hotel
and
lodging
house
licensure
and
they
also
run
hospitality.
Hotels
in
nantucket,
new
hampshire,
maine
and
rhode
island
all
have
great
reputations
for
operating
responsibly
and
without
incident.
E
R
R
E
And
I
do
know
leslie
delaney
hawkins
when
she
was
with
the
board,
had
reached
out
to
someone.
It
might
have
been
you
eric
or
someone
who
worked
for
mount
vernon
with
some
complaints
we
had
received
and
they
responded
immediately
that
they
had
gotten
in
touch
with
the
neighbor.
I
think,
put
up
a
fence
or
something.
E
That
brings
up
another
question.
I
have
we
had
this
issue
with
other
locations
during
the
pandemic
and
we
did
have
a
citywide
meeting
for
launching
houses.
I
forget
now
I'd
have
to
look
back
to
see
who
was
in
attendance,
but
we
learned
at
that
meeting
that
lodging
houses
and
hotels
have
reduced
their
rates
significantly
during.
E
W
R
E
R
I
don't
have
data
readily
available
on
free
pandemic.
We
had
a
a
partner
in
that
case
that
was
managing
the
the
rate
setting
during
the
pandemic.
We
we
got
leases
at
effective
rents
of
about
1500
on
those
few
units,
the
the
face
rents
were
slightly
higher,
but
we
were
giving
two
or
three
free
months
for
somebody
to
move
in
and
post
pandemic
theory
from
corporate
housing
solutions
on
it.
I
think
has
has
that
data
available
theory.
Could
you
speak
to
our
average
rates
since
we
reopened
in
july.
AF
AF
E
R
E
R
R
AF
Yeah,
there's
smart
locks
on
all
the
doors,
the
outside
public
doors,
and
then
each
suite
has
its
own
smart,
lock,
and
when
someone
has
a
stay
and
they've
completed
the
required
steps
that
we
require.
I
I.e
submitted
their
id
submitted
a
selfie
with
their
id
front
and
back
standard
process.
You
have
at
any
hotel
and
we
do
that
virtually
they
get
a
code
to
get
into
the
building,
which
is
the
last
four
digits
of
their
phone
number.
AF
E
AF
E
AF
AF
AF
AF
Us
it's
never
happened
and
beyond
that
the
the
rooms
are
very
close
to
each
other
and
instances
where
someone
would
have
their
tv
too
loud
after
10
pm,
for
example,
is
immediately
reported
by
the
folks
that
are
on
either
side
of
that
room
and
that's
immediately
corrected
and
generally
all
you
have
to
do
is
give
a
call
to
that
individual
was
their
cv
a
little
too
loud
and
say
hey.
Can
you
turn
the
tv
down
a
bit?
Thank
you
so
much
there
hasn't
been
any
parties
any
any.
F
AF
AC
R
And
as
it
relates
to
the
guests
that
are
coming
to
this
property,
joe
touched
on
it,
but
I
just
wanted
to
reiterate
that
part
of
the
reason
that
we
we've
decided
to
work
with
theory
to
help
operate.
The
building
is
because
they
take
in
a
really
extraordinary
step,
which
is
that
they
run
a
transunion
criminal
screening
on
everybody
that
applies
to
rent
a
room
here.
R
It's
something
that
no
hotel
does
very
few
short-term
operators
do,
but
his
his
team
is
reviewing
the
criminal
history
of
anybody
that
asks
to
rent
a
room
here
and
rejecting
the
reservation.
If
there's
any
any
significant
criminal
history,
that's
documented
by
transient,
so
we're
really
before
we
even
heard
of
these
complaints,
we
were
making
a
real
effort
to
go
above
and
beyond
with
our
screening
process.
E
A
AG
AG
Hi
everyone.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
time.
Chairwoman
joyce,
commissioner
saxon
and
commissioner
curran
I'd
also
like
to
just
recognize
our
neighborhood
liaison
kim
crucioli
who's
done
so
much
work
with
us
on
this
and
nick
bornstein
from
john
santiago's
office
and
tally.
Robbins
from
michelle
wu
as
city
councilor
at
large
office.
AG
Today,
we're
here
to
really
ask
we
appreciate
the
informational
interview
and
appreciate
the
the
testimony
from
mount
vernon
companies
and
corporate
housing
solutions
or
the
information,
I
guess
to
say
it's
important
for
us
to
be
educated
on
everything.
I
I
think
the
biggest
difference
from
a
community
standpoint
is
that
what
we're
hearing
and
what
we're
actually
experiencing
are
two
dramatically
different
things.
AG
So
I've
been
here
so
I'm
renee
smith.
This
is
my
wife.
Kate-
would
do.
We've
been
at
42
concord
square,
we're
a
direct
of
butter
for
20
years
in
all
the
20
years.
Up
until
what
the
past
two
this
is
operated,
this
lodging
house
is
operated
as
a
lodging
house
operates
right,
providing
you
know,
transitional
housing
for
young
professionals
who
often
incorporated
seamlessly
into
our
neighborhood
we've
got
them
over
for
dinner
and
then
all
of
a
sudden,
it
unraveled
into
a
haven
of
essentially
transients
attracting
a
vulnerable
population.
AG
AG
AG
I
think
our
biggest
thing
is
you're
going
to
hear
from
other
folks
too,
that
are
direct
to
butters.
We,
we
we're
prioritizing
director
butters
that
you
know
we're.
We
don't
just
leave
our
building
we're
full-time
residents
because
of
the
pandemic
and
after
the
pandemic,
both
kate
and
I
work
from
home
you're
going
to
hear
that
from
other
folks,
too,
we
use
our
deck
and
front
stoop
our
regularly.
Our
neighbors
will
testify
to
that.
We're
often
talking
and
seeing
everything
for
clarity.
AG
AG
AG
We
witnessed
cars
parked
in
the
back
area,
with
ex
guest,
exchanging
bags
and
hurried
fashion
with
non-guests
we
used
the
city
vehicles
of
311
and
911
and
engaged
with
the
police
department
at
d4
to
a
point
that
they
elevated
the
situation
to
the
police
drug
unit.
We
have
the
names
of
those
two
detectives
that
we're
happy
to
provide
to
the
licensing
board.
AG
Following
this
meeting,
we
actually
engage
them
on
our
student,
what
they
shared
with
us
upon
their
surveillance
and
is
that
at
least
two
of
the
guests
that
they
noticed,
who
were
not
here
just
for
one
night
or
two
nights
which
we're
not
sure
how
that
happens
anyway.
We're
here
multiple
times
on
multiple
occasions
came
left,
came
back
left
we're
known
drug
dealers
operating
on
mass
cast
and
potentially
in
new
hampshire,
and
why
I
like
to
say
we
can
throw
this
up
to
a
one-time
circumstance.
AG
But
when
you
have
repeat
you
know,
drug
deals
and
drug
offenders,
the
same
people
who
we
come
to
recognize
without
proper
management
on
site.
So
even
if
there
is
someone
on
site,
they
certainly
do
not
leverage
the
authority
to
manage
the
property
on
site,
pretend
you
know,
maybe
they're
managing
trash
but
they're,
not
managing
occupancy
or
people.
AG
AG
AG
This
followed
public
communications
to
neighbors
at
the
lodging
house
would
stay
as,
as
is
in
august
directly
at
a
meeting
at
five
horse
with
rentals
of
30
plus
days
or
more
so
this
10-day
average
stay
that
we're
hearing
is
incredibly
false.
Just
last
weekend
with
the
yankees
in
town,
there
were
at
least
two
couples
that
stayed
just
for
one
night
for
one
game
and
left
the
next
day
at
least
two
couples
that
we
spoke
with,
so
keep
in
mind
we're
here.
We
don't
ignore
people.
This
is
a
neighborhood,
a
very
tight
neighborhoods.
AG
E
AG
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Next,
I
am
going
to
take.
Is
it
nick
from
representative
santiago's
office?
If
you
would
like
to
speak
in
after
that,
I
will
go
back
to
the
public
and
we
would
like
you
to
limit
your
testimony
to
two
minutes
or
less
and
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
If
you
would
like
to
submit
an
email,
you
are
more
than
welcome.
I
will
put
the
email
in
the
chat,
so
you
will
be
able
to
write
it
down.
AI
AI
They
were
going
to
run
this
building
themselves.
They
weren't
going
to
lease
it
out
to
somebody
else
and
unfortunately,
that's
exactly
what
has
happened,
and
I
have
two
small
children.
I
have
a
seven-year-old
and
a
three-year-old,
my
seven-year-old's
bedroom
window
looks
right
out
onto
the
stoop.
She
sees
the
people
coming
and
going.
I
see
the
people
coming
and
going.
I
have
a
video
camera
in
my
backyard,
so
I
see
all
this,
but
I'm
not
even
there
as
well.
AI
I
also
travel
for
work,
and
so
there
are
several
nights
a
week
where
I'm
not
home
and
my
one
there
witnessing
the
verbal
altercations,
the
yelling
and
screaming
the
drug
use.
We
keep
our
windows
closed
because
there
are,
I
can
identify
tobacco
and
marijuana
smoke.
There's
other
smoke
that
I
can't
identify
that
comes
wafting
in
our
windows,
and
so
you
know
it's
to
echo
renee's
comments.
This
is
the
first
time
that
I
felt
uncomfortable
in
the
south
end
and
it's
it's
unacceptable.
AI
That
was
a
nice
thing
they
did,
but
on
the
other
side
of
that
fence
are
a
number
of
problems
to
the
point
where
there's
broken
glass
that
ends
up
in
my
property.
There
are
cigarette,
butts,
there's
all
kinds
of
other
things
like
that,
and
I
have
concerns
about
taking
my
kids
out
there
after
dark
to
you
know,
hang
out
in
the
backyard,
and
so
thank
you
for
your
consideration
today.
AD
What's
the
problem,
and
then
you
hear
that
the
problem
is
that
they
have
no
idea
what's
going
on
there
or
they're,
purposely
misleading
the
board
as
to
what's
going
on
there,
we
were
told
30
days
would
be
the
the
kind
of
stay
that
there
would
be
virtually
no
change
in
how
the
the
lice,
the
rooming
board
would
be
operated
and
again
that
they
would
not
be
turning
it
into
an
airbnb.
I
think
airbnb
was
one
of
the
words
bounced
around
at
that
five
horses
meeting.
AD
So,
for
all
those
reasons,
I
think
the
the
board
should
look
closely
at
suspending
or
revoking
the
license
and
look
more
to
what
these
pokes
are
doing,
rather
than
what
they're
saying
they.
They
talk
a
hell
of
a
game,
but
they
really
need
to
step
up
and
do
what
they
said
they
were
going
to
do
if
they
want
to
continue
to
operate
thanks
very
much.
AJ
I
live
at
59
rutland
square,
which
is
within
spitting
distance
of
44
through
the
alleyway,
I'm
not
a
direct
a
butter,
so
I
really
want
to
defer
to
the
direct
butters,
because
I
think
they
have
a
far
more
pertinent
testimony,
but
I
do
want
to
call
the
board's
attention
to
two
key
factors.
One
is
that
I
happen
to
chair
the
south
end
forum,
which
is
the
umbrella
organization
for
all
the
neighborhood
associations
of
the
south
end.
So
we
deal
with
lodging
house
licensees
throughout
the
entire
south
end.
AJ
This
is
the
very
first
time
in
25
years
that
we've
ever
seen
this
level
of
of
disjointed
operations
in
a
lodging
house.
We
know
about
the
lodging
house
on
berkeley
street
we're
familiar
with
the
upton
both
of
the
neighborhood
associations.
They
are
have
been
very
supportive
of
the
work
and
the
and
the
efforts
that
that
have
gone
on
in
those
locations.
AJ
So
there's
something
fundamentally
wrong
with
this
particular
location,
and
I
want
to
point
out
what
I
think
it
is,
and
I
think
it's
that
this
this
lodging
house
is
not
functioning
in
the
traditional
sense
of
a
lodging
house.
It's
really
functioning
as
a
day-to-day
hotel,
a
night
to
night
hotel
and
it's
using
airbnb
as
the
vehicle.
AJ
I
helped
draft
the
short-term
rental
ordinance
for
the
city
of
boston
and
I
understand
that
we
have
a
loophole
in
lodging
houses,
and
I
understand
what
that
means.
I
just
want
this
licensing
board
to
take
a
look
at
the
fact
that
this
operation
is
not
functioning
in
the
traditional
sense
of
what
a
lodging
house
has
done
in
terms
of
housing,
a
particular
type
of
individual,
with
a
particular
need
in
our
neighborhood.
So
I'll
leave
it
at
that.
Thank
you.
A
AK
AK
That
happened,
probably
in
august
where
my
son
and
I
were
sitting
outside
on
the
stoop
enjoying
the
weather
and
we
saw
a
woman
pull
up
and
you
know
she
was
pulling
a
lot
of
stuff
out
of
the
car
and
it
looked
as
if
it
was
someone
you
know
moving
into
a
college
dorm
and
I
was
just
looking
and
she
looked
over
and
said
what
the
hell
are
you
looking
at,
and
that
is
not
the
type
of
response
I
had
expected.
So
I
was
kind
of
taken
aback.
AK
You
know
my
son
heard
it
good
thing.
He
didn't
react
to
it,
but
you
know
the
worst.
I've
ever
gotten
on
sitting
on
a
stoop
as
a
neighbor
or
somebody
walk
by
and
not
say
hi
to
me,
but
never
would
have
thought
that
you
know
I
would
hear
someone
say
what
the
hell
are
you
looking
at
and
while
she
was
moving
in
because
she
had
a
lot
of
stuff,
the
door
was
propped
open
for
a
very
long
time.
So
for
that
code
to
be
logged
every
time,
someone
enter
it.
AK
M
Hi,
my
husband
and
I
are
caddy
corner
to
the
building.
We
live
at
43
concord
square
in
the
warm
weather
months,
we're
often
sitting
on
our
stoop.
So
we
see
quite
a
bit
of
what
goes
on
and
the
traffic
in
and
out
of
the
building.
I
wrote
a
letter
to
leslie
who
apparently
no
longer
leslie
hawkins,
isn't
apparently
involved
in
this
this
summer,
and
I
mentioned
a
few
issues,
but
I
just
want
to
say
in
2018
our
daughter,
graduated
from
boston,
latin.
M
M
You
know,
frankly,
on
some
kind
of
substance,
they're
messed
up
in
one
way
or
another.
We
have
heard
yelling.
We
have
seen
just
shady
looking
people
and
in
july
late
july,
when
we
were
sitting
out
with
our
dog
on
the
stoop,
my
husband
engaged.
You
know
a
couple
that
you
know
with
suitcases:
they
were
leaving
and
they
they
said
that
they
had
been.
They
felt
that
they
were
misled
by
false
advertising.
M
They
came
and
thought
they
were
getting
a
two-bedroom
suite
and
instead
it
was
a
cramped
micro
studio.
Now
I
you
know,
because
I
was
curious
about
the
the
building
that
I've
been.
You
know.
We've
lived
here
for
27
years.
I
had
gone
in
in
2018
to
my
sister's
rented
place
and
saw
yeah
they're
quite
cramped.
I
think
there's
probably
three
to
a
floor.
It
was
fine.
M
You
know
it
was
functional,
but
I'm
just
concerned
that
if
they
are
sort
of
subletting,
you
know
the
management
to
other
entities
and
they're
running
deceptive
advertising
and
so
on.
It
just
feels
like
they're,
skirting
all
sorts
of
rules,
and
this
is
some
kind
of
hybrid
operation
that
I'm
not
sure
if
the
city
has
the
means
to
to
check
up
on
everyone,
but
I
feel
like
they
have
been
bad
actors
and
their
attorney
is
presenting
a
picture
of
their
management.
M
That
is
not
supported
by
the
day-to-day
experience
that
we're
seeing
and
we're
long-time
south
vendors.
We
love
our
neighborhood,
we
don't
expect
pollyanna,
you
know,
suburban
whatever
you
know
we're
pretty
well
versed
in
the
challenges
of
city
life,
but
something's
going
on
here.
That
shouldn't
be
allowed
to
stand,
and
I
just
wanted
to
put
in
my
two
cents.
Thank
you.
M
A
E
F
AE
AE
Indeed,
we
had
a
meeting
with
the
neighborhood
and
we
made
you
know
certain
assurances
as
to
how
this
thing
would
run.
What
frustrates
me
is
we
are
totally
accessible.
In
fact,
I
think
at
that
meeting
I
gave
up
my
cell
phone
number.
I
do
that
off
I'll,
go
in
front
of
a
a
a
community
meeting
in
front
of
a
hundred
people
and
give
my
cell
phone
number,
because
I'm
not
afraid
to
to
you
know,
address
issues
that
people
are
concerned
about
to
hear
all
of
this.
Without
anyone
reaching
out
to
us.
AE
We
don't
want
this
kind
of
meeting.
We
don't
want
the
neighborhood,
the
neighbors
upset
with
us,
but
we're
not
mind
readers.
We
can't
solve
a
problem
that
we
don't
know
that
we
didn't
are
not
aware
it
exists,
so
I
am
more
than
interested
and
and
willing
to
help
solve
this.
I
don't
want
a
building
that
is
problematical
it
just
isn't.
You
know
it
isn't.
AE
How
we
do
things-
and
we've
been
around
long
enough
where
you
would
know
by
now
if
we
were
irresponsible
operators,
in
fact,
I
think
the
value
of
our
company
and
our
our
brand
is
180
degrees
different,
but
we
need
to
know,
there's
a
problem
and
if
the
neighborhood
goes
right
to
the
licensing
board
and
skirts
the
people
that
can
solve
the
problem,
then
you
know,
of
course,
there's
going
to
be
frustration
built
up.
So
you
know
this
is
a
transient
used
to
one
reason
in
one
way
or
another.
AE
It's
a
lodging
house,
but
I
honestly
don't
care
what
loopholes
there
may
or
may
not
be.
This
building
is
not
critical
enough
for
us
to
ruin
our
reputation
over
and
so
what
I
would
like
to
do
is
you
know.
We.
I've
heard
a
lot
of
things
here
that
you
know
don't
make
me
very
happy
and
I'm
going
to
get
to
the
bottom
of
it.
AE
AE
Or
I
certainly
literally
knew
nothing
about.
So
that's
all
I
want
to
say
it's
it's
hard
to
hear
criticism
about
our
promising
and
representing
things
and
and
in
effect
being
dishonest.
It
isn't
the
way
we
do
things.
So
all
I
want
to
say
to
to
the
the
the
city
officials
here
is
that
we
hear
what's
being
said,
we
want
to
get
to
the
bottom
of
it
and
we
want
the
neighbors
to
be.
We
want
their
problem
solved
because
it
doesn't
it.
It
benefits.
No
one,
including
us.
E
Thank
you
and
I
have
a
couple
more
comments
and
I
think
you
kind
of
set
the
table
for
me.
Mr
personally,
it
sounds
like
we
have
a
very
active
community
here
that
loves
their
neighborhood.
They
consider
themselves
part
of
a
neighborhood
and
we
have
an
operator
that
takes
pride
in
his
business
reputation
and
takes
pride
in
this
in
his
job.
E
I
do
recognize
the
fact
that
during
corbett,
a
lot
of
these
places
had
to
pivot
and
shift
some
of
their
business
model,
but
I
think
we
need
to
get
back
to
putting
in
putting
in
putting
things
in
place
that
make
everyone
feel
safe.
You
know,
mr
bolling
stated
that
when
he's
away,
he
can
look
at
the
cameras
in
the
back
of
his
property
and
see
the
neighbors
at
this
location.
E
Doing
these
things
that
put
him
in
fear,
I
one
suggestion
would
be.
If
you
have
cameras
in
the
back
of
your
place
too,
have
the
management
company
be
monitoring
them.
That's
what
I
was
trying
to
get
at.
Do
you
just
check
the
people
in
and
look
at
their
self,
their
identification
in
a
selfie,
but
you
can
still
remotely
monitor
these
places
through
security
cameras,
and
I
think
that
will
go
a
long
way
for
you
to
see
exactly
what
the
neighbors
are
seeing.
E
The
other
thing
is
that
and
going
to
the
same
point,
the
door
is
propped
open.
I
think
that's
a
concern
for
everyone
and
again
I
think
that
could
be
resolved
with
having
security
monitoring
these
cameras
that
you've
installed
at
your
location.
I
think
the
biggest
lesson
here
is
that
you
have
to
communicate
with
the
neighborhood.
E
E
Those
are
just
my
my
my
comments.
Listening
to
this,
I'm
going
to
ask
mr
when
I
ask
commissioner
curran
or
commissioner
saxon,
if
they
have
any
comments,
they'd
like
to
share
and
I'm
going
to
ask
that
the
either
through
attorney
hanley
or
mr
pursley
to
keep
the
to
keep
the
licensing
board
up
to
date
on
what
your
next
steps
are.
AC
AL
Your
name
sorry,
commissioner
joyce
john
moran,
I'm
18
concord
square
active
in
a
lot
of
the
neighborhood
association
stuff,
but
I
guess
I'd
go
back
to
mr
personally.
I'd
ask
you
the
question
now
I
know
you're,
saying
communication
isn't
there,
but
the
the
question
that
I
think
is
real
is
that
how
did
you
ever
think
putting
an
airbnb
on
a
quiet
south
end
street
was
ever
going
to
work?
I
mean
that's
so
such
a
false
sense
of
reaching
out
to
us
when
you're,
basically
doing
something,
that's
impossible
to
work.
AE
Well,
you
know:
look
I
I'm
trying
to
be
constructive
and
I
we
we
lived
through
something
in
the
pandemic
that
was
brutal
and
we
tried
to
respond
to
it
because
economically,
we
were
getting
crushed
the
same
with
our
hotel.
You
know
it
was
you.
You
lose
millions
of
dollars
at
a
time
like
this,
I
am
going
to
chat
with
our
our
operator
and
to
just
put
everything
on
the
table,
but
you
know
I.
AE
I
can
hear
the
anger
in
your
voice,
but
I
will
tell
you
you
know
if
you
knew
us
better,
you
would
know
that
we
don't
play
games,
it
just
isn't
the
way
we
do
things.
Obviously
we
want
something
to
be
economically
viable,
but
I
don't
you
know
this
isn't.
The
kind
of
this,
fortunately,
is,
is
somewhat
of
a
foreign
experience
for
us.
AE
We
don't
go
through
stuff
like
this,
so
I'm
going
to
put
our
team
together
and
find
out
what
we
can
do
here,
because
I
don't
like
having
people
who
are
angry
at
us
who
feel
we
have
wronged
them
that.
So
I
would
ask
that
you
have
a
little
bit
of
faith,
not
a
lot.
Just
a
little
bit
and
have
a
little
bit
of
patience
and
let
us
regroup
and
figure
out
how
we
can
deal
with
what
we're
hearing
today.
AM

A
AN
43
concord
square
I've
lived
here
roughly
27
years,
we're
across
the
street
from
the
building,
I'm
pretty
familiar
with
the
building.
I've
been
inside
it
over
time.
We've
had
relatives
stay
there,
it
used
to
be
operated
fairly,
well,
wasn't
inexpensive
the
last
few
years.
It's
been
a
much
bumpier
ride.
It's
been
like
a
lot
of
people
have
said:
there's
been
a
lot
of
not
great
activity.
You've
seen
people
staggering
out
of
there
stoned
out
of
their
minds
or
somehow
otherwise
affected.
AN
AN
You
know
for
short
term
stays,
not
one
night,
but
the
way
it's
been
operated
has
certainly
not
been
beneficial.
You
know
beneficial
to
the
neighborhood
at
all.
It's
been
a
real
detriment
and
there's
we
have
enough
people
from
mass
and
cass
because
you
might
say
that's
not
related,
but
it's
all
it
all
piles
on
people
walking
through
the
neighborhood
out
of
their
trees
and
we're
worried
about.
You
know
safety
in
general.
You
know
I've
been
here
through
lots
of
stuff
when
the
neighborhood
wasn't
so
tarted
up
and
didn't
have
as
much.
AN
A
AN
AN
I'd
be
happy
to
wrap
it
up.
You
know,
monitoring
technology
is
not
a
brand
new
thing.
If,
if
people
can
have
it
in
their
own
house,
I'm
sure
that
this
property
could
have
had
it
and
should
have
had
it
and
if
they're
such
experienced
operators,
it's
beyond
me
why
they
didn't,
because
they
don't
have
any
on-site
management
and
they
don't
have
any
any
daily
visiting.
You
know
people
self-check
in.
I
have
never
seen
someone
check
someone
in
I'm
a
small-time
landlord.
I
meet
everybody
that
comes
to
our
building.
AN
If
there's
somebody
that's
visiting
a
tenant
that
I
don't
know,
I
introduce
myself
I'm
here
every
freaking
day,
if
I
owned
a
17
unit,
building,
16
of
which
are
legal
and
of
one
in
the
basement
of
which
is
not
and
hopefully
not
being
used.
I
would
be
over
there
every
freaking
day
morning
and
afternoon,
and
there
is
nobody
at
all
doing
that
because
we
live
here.
I
work
at
home,
I'm
here
every
day,
all
the
time
more
than
almost
anybody
well.
E
AO
Yeah
hi,
my
name,
is
bob
barney.
I
live
at
463
now
south
a
few
streets
away.
I'm
president
of
the
clermont
neighborhood
association.
I
really
just
want
to
reinforce
what
everybody
said
for
me.
I've
heard
from
about
60
neighbors.
So
I
think
today
is
a
small
part
of
that
about
the
operations
of
this
facility,
but
I
have
a
question
for
maybe
you
kathleen.
AO
AO
The
reason
I
ask
it
is,
I
think
it
kind
of
goes
back
to
a
lot
of
the
questions
have
been
asked.
You
know
if
it's
being
used
as
an
airbnb
and
there
are
three
people
in
a
room.
You
know
time
16.
It
gets
pretty
pretty
much
up
there.
So
I
just
want
to
get
the
perspective
of
the
board
of
how
that
should
work
for
for
a
lodging
house.
